Question for anybody following this thread. As I look to migrating this script from the 'AppleTV Script' to the 'Mac SAB Video Script' there is question I would like to get some feedback on. I ask because it is fundamental to how I structure the script so I'll take feedback under consideration. This...

Here's the thing guys, I really don't want to get involved in figuring out and testing getting video on platforms that I don't use. Why don't you guys work together to research and test the resulting videos. If you can find a method of getting it done from Terminal (not GUI) apps, then I'll certainl...

i am exactly the same as you fella    but i a m not sure i am making my self very clear.     i want the same where mkv  is remuxed (not rencoded)   to a file type that is able to import into itunes but is also playable on my ps3    i think he problem lies with the audio that is contained in the .mk...

Here's my problem with that list, how do I test the video types to make sure they fall into the correct specifications on that page? And I don't see MKV listed.

what do you mean? Here is what would really help, and this is totally faked answers, but somthing of this format. Xbox: MKV - if audio is AC3 or stereo it plays native. MOV - not playable, needs to be transcoded to this format. AVI - plays natively M4V - Plays if in proper format etc... PS3: MKV - ...

what do you mean? Well so far you guys are only talking about MKV source video files, but there are a lot of other types of video on the usenet and the script has to be able to handle all incomers. So if you're playing video on your xbox or ps3, how do you play those other video types, do they play...

And what about non MKV sources, what if it is one of these video types? *.mkv *.avi *.m4v *.mp4 *.m2ts *.wmv *.mov *.iso *.img

Thanks for the quick response! It's actually not that I'm looking for the ability to use Stereo instead of AC3 (the PS3 supports AC3 in MP4s and while the xbox 360 doesn't support it natively, there are programs that will perform on-the-fly down-sampling to stereo while streaming to it). It's more ...

Currently my script is geared towards AppleTV, so an MKV with DTS is converted to an MKV with AC3, then transcoded for AppleTV. If I understand you would want to be able to go from MKV with DTS to either MKV with AC3 or MKV with Stereo? The choice of Stereo or AC3 would be something I'd have to bak...

I'll look at adding the PS3 conversion if somebody gives me a good preset. I'd also really appreciate a way to transcode mkvs instead of the full conversion. I wish I knew enough to give you a good preset. From my experiences with other methods/scripts that try to achieve similar (but much much les...

Hi randy i have downloaded your script and am playing    i have the script from he first post does this get updatd ?   also confused about the post > dts >ac3 is that default in the script ? also the files i get are usually h.264 video with audio that needs converting   do you transcode the video a...

The latest HandBrake build I incorporated (to enable WMV-HD compatibility) changed some of it's options and nomenclature, working through a fix and will post an update soon. Ok, updated for the new structure - this *should* be good to go. DOWNLOAD the AppleTV Script Installation Pak here . http://dl...

whats the output format  is output compatable with ipad iphone ps3 or xbox 360 Today the script outputs iTunes compatible formats, AppleTV/iPad, iPhone, iPod, Apple Universal. I'm looking to mixing it up a bit to support custom strings. I do not own nor do I have any interest in a PS3 or XBox so I ...

I was chatting offline with Gids about the scripts - Glad they're working well for you mate! In vetting out a request he had, I came to the realization that I need to change this from being the AppleTV Script to the Mac Script. With this change would be the ability for the users to select their defa...

Thanks to brazuca for helping me troubleshoot a problem. There were a couple of dynamic libraries that were not included in the installation package - it only caused problem when the script tried to convert MKV's with DTS to AC3, the installation file now includes them and this *should* be an issue ...
